Let There Be Light - Genesis 1:3

Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light – Genesis 1:3

Before a word was spoken an expectant heavens and a silent earth waited in darkness for a whisper to be heard. Every atom, every speck of dust, every drop of water listened intently for God to utter the words that would begin the dance of creation. Father, Son and Holy Spirit in glorious, joyous union, infinitely satisfied, overflowing with inexhaustible richness, unimaginable goodness, filled with desire to share this beautiful dance.

Before there was a Sun created to shine in the day and a moon to lighten the night, light separated the day from the night. The light was the “Word of God”, the spoken voice in the darkness.  For where the word of God is darkness must disappear. In God there is no darkness only light.

At the end of the book in Revelation 21:23, the apostle John witnesses the New Jerusalem, “And the city has no need of sun or moon, for the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its light. “ From the very first chapter to the last chapter the “Word” of God is a revelation of the lamb slain before the foundation of the world. Christ is the light that illuminates every page, every verse, and every heart and dispels the darkness.

And we join with every atom and wait and listen to every word that Christ has given us. We listen for the whisper into our hearts with the truth and light that illuminates our shadows.  The sound of silence is the sound of expectation, the sound of anticipation, the sound of creation, the sound that echoes throughout eternity and is whispered to anyone who stoops down to listen.

We receive the passionate invitation to join in the creators dance, overwhelmed with His goodness, overflowing with His love and drenched in the riches of his grace.
